Abstract (en)

[origin: US6213787B1] A socket terminal assembly includes a socket body having an end with an opening and an opposite end configured to contact the corresponding connection region of a printed circuit board, a contact spring, disposed at the opening of the socket body, to receive and apply a frictional force sufficient to retain the lower end of a pin within the opening of the socket body; and a resilient member, disposed within a lower end of the opening, to apply, to the pin and in response to a downward force applied to the pin, an upward force sufficient to overcome the frictional force of the contact spring. The pin has an end adapted to contact an electrical contacting area of an integrated circuit package and an opposite end configured to be inserted within the opening of the socket body. An intercoupling component includes a socket support member having holes, each hole receiving a corresponding socket terminal assembly.
